i love mark j. w. rodwell he is so sweet and enthusiastic

Course content is great. Nice introduction to high speed circuits. Exams resemble homeworks. On the personal level, I can easily say most stressful, intimidating person I have ever seen, with many trash talking and gossips.

flying over the course material in class. Homeworks are good to understand the topics. Though, he is tough, intimidating and hard to communicate with.

A very time consuming class, Mark was quite helpful throughout the difficult labs. I do think the exam difficulty was fair despite me messing up a few things. Eventually I received a grade of a B while having 88% in the class, turns out he curved it down which I didn't know was a thing. Overall a hard class, tough grader but otherwise decent prof.

idk why people call him crazy or eccentric. open your mind a little and stop being so judgmental. he's just so passionate about circuits. i love this man and i love this class

Rodwell is quite an eccentric man, nevertheless quite an engaging lecturer. Just like his courses he moves at high speeds and talks at high frequencies, so expect to pour in a lot of hours to fully understand transistor topologies. Understanding 137-level electronics is a must for all EE's, and 145a does good work introducing RF design.
